With Anthony Davis leaving the game early due to an abdominal strain, LeBron James did his best to put the Los Angeles Lakers on his back against the Philadelphia 76ers. But the Lakers defense had absolutely no answer for 76ers All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey, who finished with 43 points as L.A. fell 118-104 on the road.
Maxey has developed into one of the NBA’s best young guards over the past couple of seasons. His quickness makes him nearly impossible to stay in front of and the Lakers certainly didn’t do it on Tuesday night as he got anything he wanted.
